Why Not Both?

Chapter Thirteen

The next day, they'd all made it into the rusty van. Cartman was annoyingly driving. Kyle and Stan were in the next seat back. Craig, Tweek, and Kenny were in the very back, in that order. The front was so loud and obnoxious, but in the back was pretty quiet.

Craig was being silent mostly and it had worried Tweek, but any time he'd asked, Craig said nothing. Kenny's leg was pressed against Tweek's and they were joking around mostly. After four hours of driving, Tweek was sleepy. Kyle has already passed out in the front with his head on Stan's shoulder.

Of course. Of fucking course Tweek was in the middle. Craig just couldn't get a break. Stop, Craig. Jesus. Do something that might make him jealous. That's when Craig pulled out his phone to text Wendy and fake smiled, laughing at her texts to see if Tweek would notice.

"Ughhh. It's hot! You think with all your money, you could afford air conditioning in your car,Cartman!" Stan complained to Eric.

"Shut the fuck up, Stan," Cartman called back, flipping him off.

"I'm going to have to second that, Stan. Sorry, Cartman," Kenny added.

"You're in a fucking parka jacket, Kenny! Don't complain!" Cartman yelled.

"Oh, are you saying you want me to take it off?" Kenny asked and smirked, teasing Cartman.

"No. Christ no!" replied their obnoxious driver. Tweek noticed Craig being more excited than he'd been the whole drive, but wasn't the kind of person who looked at other people's phones or anything. He just assumed he was messaging Wendy because she was the only person Craig talked to who wasn't there, which was weird to begin with.

"Craig, you alright?" Tweek asked quietly as he glanced over at his eyes for just a second. He'd overheard Kenny threatening to take his jacket off and he couldn't help but not mind the thought. He gave him a soft smile. "Are you excited for this week?"

"Oh, um... yeah. I-I guess..." Craig replied, barely even looking up at Tweek. Then, Kenny looked over at him with a soft smile.

"Aw, come on, man. Be more excited. Don't be sad just because Wendy can't come," Kenny told him, earning a blank stare from Craig.

"Yeah, man. Just be excited for the s'mores and whatever else people do while camping. I, for one, am looking forward to the coffee," Tweek said dramatically and laughed at his own stupidity.

"Yeah... okay," Craig replied with a small sigh. He already knew most of the weekend would be filled with Kenny all over Tweek and Craig having to suffer from seeing it. Tweek patted Craig's shoulder and sent him another smile, seriously believing he was sad over Wendy not being here. Craig blushed lightly at the small touch from Tweek he'd received. He quickly tilted his head towards the window to hide his slightly pink cheeks.

"I don't know how to do any of this..." Tweek said as he waited for Kenny to give him instructions. They'd all immediately went about making their tents once they arrived at the campsite. Tweek followed Kenny a little like a puppy. "You should know that I've never been camping."

"Dude, that's totally okay, but it's sad that you've never been camping. Guess we'll have to make it your favorite camping trip, then," Kenny teased, taking off his jacket finally and just staying in his black tee.

"I, um, yeah..." he was starting to speak just as fucking Kenny took off his jacket and boy, if he wasn't already sexy with that crazy heavy thing on, he was so muscular and sure Tweek had seen him shirtless and pantsless once, but he wasn't ready. He didn't know if he'd ever be ready. He blushed and looked down only a bit before biting his lip and gazing at Kenny as he moved the tent.
